A miniaturized dual band bow‐tie microstrip antenna for implantable and wearable telemedicine applications

Abstract

In this article, a miniaturized dual band, multislotted bow-tie microstrip antenna for wearable telemedicine applications involving a bidirectional wireless link between implantable and wearable systems is proposed. The number, size, and position of the slots, center width, as well as the size of the ground plane, were selected to control the TM 30 mode such that the antenna resonates at the desired frequencies and provides the radiation patterns for the intended application. The antenna operates with a dipole-like radiation pattern in the 915 MHz band and a broadside radiation pattern in the 2.45 GHz band. The reflection coefficient and far-field radiation patterns were measured and compared against the simulated results.

Superstrate loaded miniaturized patch for biomedical telemetry

“…A dual‐band antenna bowtie dipole antenna was reported in Ref. for wearable telemedicine applications. The bowtie antenna has a size of 50 × 40 mm 2 and resonates around 915 MHz and 2.45 GHz ISM bands.…”

Dual‐band microstrip‐fed bow‐tie antenna for GPS and WLAN application

“…A simple and popular antenna design using slot‐loaded bow‐tie patch is introduced in Refs. , which can provide dual‐band frequency operation. Also, a bow‐tie microstrip antenna with a pair of symmetric circular slots for dual‐band operation was reported in Ref.…”
